Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

Rotisserie chicken, carrots, celery, onions, noodles, herbs and seasonings all simmered in chicken broth that makes a hearty but simple homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. If you don’t have time to make your own chicken broth just do it this way.

Peel the carrots and slice. Dice the celery and onion.

Pour the chicken broth into a large pot then add
the carrots, celery, onion, parsley, rosemary,
bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a
boil over medium high heat then reduce to a
simmer. Cover and simmer until
the vegetables are tender.

Add the noodles and cook until your desired doneness.

Remove the bay leaves and discard.

Cut the cooked rotisserie chicken into small cubes.

Add the chicken and simmer until the chicken is hot.

Then serve, refrigerating the leftovers.

This recipe makes a large pot of soup. Recipe can be cut in half, however, the leftovers are wonderful.

Always such a comforting dish! I like that you used the thick noodles here.
I like to buy the Amish thick noodles. Some day I will get back to making my own. Thank you Dorothy!
Awesomeness!
Thank you John! Did you have a nice Fathers Day?
Yes ma’am! I did!
Awesome!
Very nice, I will certainly try this recipe tomorrow
Enjoy it’s one of our favorite soups. Thank you!
This looks a nice tasty soup!
Thank you Paul one of our favorites.
This is easy! And sounds delicious. I love chicken noodle soup!
Thanks Michelle!
A hearty and healthy bowl of goodness! And I do love rotisserie chicken too.
I can’t buy a raw chicken & cook it for the price we get it at Sam’s Club (cooked and for only $4.99) and it tastes amazing!
Our equivalent of Sam’s Club is CostCo and the rotisserie chicken is the best. I think it’s a loss leader, priced low to get you to come in and buy other stuff! Haha.
My husband told me a couple days ago Costco is going to double the price of their rotisserie chicken! You know once they do the others will follow! 😡 Hopefully it’s a rumor.
That’s a shame if they do! I never heard that.
They are saying there is a chicken shortage because of all the fast food restaurants selling so many chicken sandwiches now. Supply and demand! 😡 I hope they are wrong!
That is very interesting but not entirely surprising!
Good for what ails you … you say “easy” but it was a lot of steps. But the result looks delicious.
But easy steps, chop and dump into one pot. You don’t even have to cook the chicken or make the broth. You could do this Linda! Thanks so much Linda! 💕
I have to get back to using the crockpot Diane. I moved it off the countertop as that was the favorite spot for the ants to play (ugh). I have to get back into it again … the end of the ants and then the beginning of the computer debacle at work had me frazzled.
Are the ants finally gone Linda? I know the computer will be an issue until the day you retire. Lol
They are finally gone Diane – maybe three weeks ago now. Thank goodness because I thought they were gone several times, only to find them again. I’m going to get a perimeter spray next Spring. I didn’t want to because of the hummingbird(s) (one) but I don’t want to go through that again. There were more ants than normal it seemed to me. The computer fiasco was May 20th. I tried to update the “stove laptop” yesterday … just simple updates. It made me change my password and do updates to Cortana … I didn’t want Cortana, just wanted to do updates. I got a message “try back later”. SMH!
Computers are so temperamental and annoying use like the ants!
That’s for sure!
This is very similar to how I make chicken noodle soup. Every great once in a while, I buy a raw chicken and make my own broth, which is better, but takes longer, of course. Usually, when I buy a raw chicken, my husband requests I make chicken and dumplings.
Win-win either way KT! I love Chicken and Dumplings too. 😋
My mama made the best ones…COMPLETELY from scratch. She would start with an old chicken from the coop past its prime, and go from there. I’ll let your imagination fill in the rest. Don’t want to trigger anyone. 🙄
When I had chickens to teach my kids about them I had to take them to a farmer to butcher them for me…lol
I would probably do the same…I could deal with a dead animal—helped my daddy skin squirrels and rabbits, and helped first husband with skinning and butchering deer as well. But I never could kill anything myself. I vaguely recall when I was very small my mama cutting off a chicken’s head on a wood chopping block, but that was farm life back then.
We are a lot alike!
😊❤️
Oh gorgeous! I love a good oodles soup!
Me too Jo I even can eat it cold the next day. Lol Thank you and I hope you had a good weekend!
Not a bad weekend! Hope you and yours had a good time too!
Thank you and I hope you had a great weekend!
An absolute favourite dish in our house … and so easy to make (especially when one can use rotisserie chicken – which we do!)
We are expecting a few rainy days now – I think I know of at least one dish we’ll definitely make! Thanks for the ‘recipe-reminder’ Diane!
You’re welcome and enjoy!
Mmmm! Sometimes there’s nothing better than chicken noodle soup.
I agree even in the summer! Lol
One of my favorites! And I use Reames Noodles a lot!
Those are delicious!!!! I use them in my slow cooker chicken and noodles.
Yes! I even tried them in the IP ~of course adding them after I took out chicken and vegetables~it’s great! I’m still partial to slow cooker, but on those rushed nights…😁
Thank you!
Nice ingredients. I wanted to try this one. Love the chicken always
Enjoy we love this as well. Thank you Saree!
This is totally one of my comfort foods. My partner John always makes it up for me and I have a stash in the freezer. Maybe we’ll try your recipe someday 🙂
Chicken Noodle Soup never gets old. I don’t care if it’s hot or cold outside I will eat it. Thanks! 💕
